I admired American culture from the 1950s to the 1970s through movies, TV dramas, music, magazines, etc.
American culture that I have been familiar with since I was a boy.
Los Angeles of that era, which was nurtured by an open atmosphere that suits the blue sea and sky well,
Hawaii, full of generous nature and a hungry spirit, is full of charms that comfortably stimulate my sensibilities and let my imagination run wild.
The objects that I touch and draw with my hands as they come to my mind create tasteful works using the material of cardboard as a canvas.
There is also a shadow box type work that adds a sense of depth by layering the cardboard paper.
And the motifs I drew as if sketching became tasteful art that expressed the era in the form of a number of illustrations.
I started creating works that I had loved since I was a child, and my feelings for American culture grew.
My work is original with the image concept of American beach culture and mid-century modern taste, and expressed in my own painting style.
The motifs of the works include mid-century music, movies, buildings, interiors, signs, cars, graphic design, and merchandise.
The Hawaiian landscape is also an important motif and is an essential part of my work.
All kinds of art materials are used to create an atmospheric finish, but the works drawn using cardboard as a canvas can be said to be unique as original art.
These are 3D works made of multiple layers of cardboard glued together using the shadow box method, and works that express a unique worldview by incorporating collage into cardboard, are visuals that shine like no other.
You can enjoy it as an eternal art that is not affected by trends.
